Why does the bank ask you to update your identity details?

  • When you open an account, the bank must officially record your identity. Legally, these details must always be kept up to date.
  • That is why your bank sometimes asks you to update your identity details.
  • What if you don't do this on time?
    • Your account will be temporarily blocked for transactions at cash machines.
    • You can only unblock your account by scanning your electronic identity card (eID) at the bank or at a CASH point.

Useful tips for withdrawing money safely at a CASH point

  1. Do not get distracted Keep your attention on the transaction. Focus on the screen and not on your mobile phone, which you do not need.
  2. Shield your PIN Use your hand or wallet to cover the keypad, even if there is no one around.
  3. Read the instructions on the screen carefully

    This way, you know exactly what steps to follow and you avoid mistakes, such as leaving your card or money behind.

  4. Always complete your transaction first

    A transaction only takes a moment: from inserting your card to getting it back. If someone approaches you, politely tell them that you want to finish first.

  5. Stay until you see the start screen again

    You will first receive your card, then your money. So do not get distracted. Wait until the transaction is complete.

  6. Remember: Never share your PIN with anyone.

    Your PIN is yours alone. Never share it. Not even by telephone, email or link. Bank employees will never ask for your PIN. Neither will CASH security guards or maintenance technicians, nor the Cardstop helpdesk.

  7. Save the Card Stop number in your mobile phone

    Save 078 170 170 as a fixed contact. That way, you can call immediately if you encounter any problems.

  8. Report fraud or scams

    Have you been the victim of a scam or fraud? Contact your local police immediately.

Notes

The step-by-step guide to safely depositing money

Before you go

  1. To make things easy, sort your banknotes by value.
  2. Check that they are not torn, stained or too damaged as this can block the CASH machine - as will rubber bands or paper clips. So it's better to put your notes loose in a large envelope.
  3. Count your bills so you know how much you're going to deposit.
  4. All euro banknotes are accepted. But no coins!
  5. A torn or badly damaged banknote? Don't panic: you can exchange it free of charge at the National Bank of Belgium, by post or in Brussels. All information about the exchange service can be found on their website https://www.nbb.be/en/notes-and-coins/exchange-banknotes-and-coins/exchange-euro-money/exchanging-damaged-euro-notes
  6. Find a CASH point here where 'Deposit money' is possible.

At the CASH point

  1. Check on the screen whether the “Deposit money” function is available (cash-in symbol). If the cash-in symbol is crossed out, then you cannot deposit money at this CASH machine at this time. Look for another one.
  2. Insert your card, which must be linked to the account into which you wish to deposit the money.
  3. Select “CASH Deposit” and enter your PIN.
  4. Carefully follow the instructions on the screen to avoid technical malfunctions.
  5. Stay focused and do not get distracted, even by a mobile phone message for example.
  6. Insert the banknotes
    • Check your banknotes one last time before depositing them:
      • Are they not creased?
      • not torn?
      • not stained?
      • not bound with elastic bands, staples or paper clips?
        This will help you avoid technical malfunctions and ensure that the machine can count your money correctly.
    • Click on “Insert banknotes” once you have read all the instructions.
    • You can always use the mirror on the cash machine to check whether it is safe to make your deposit.
    • You will be given ample time to insert your banknotes. Please note that you can insert a maximum of 150 banknotes per deposit.
    • The different steps, depending on the type of CASH machine:
      • With a large opening:
        1. The tray opens.
        2. Place your banknotes in it.
        3. Keep an eye on the seconds counting down on the screen.
        4. The tray closes automatically.
      • With a slot:
        1. Place the banknotes in a single stack.
        2. Insert the entire stack into the slot at once, with the long side facing forward.
        3. Press “Confirm”, as the slot does not close automatically.
        4. The screen always shows a clear image of how to insert the notes correctly.
  7. Counting and checking
    • The machine counts your notes. This takes a few seconds. In the meantime, you will see a waiting screen.
    • An overview of all the banknotes you have inserted will then appear.
    • Check this overview carefully:
      1. Is the amount correct?
      2. Have all the banknotes been counted?
      3. Some notes may not be recognised. These are sometimes returned. Remove them from the machine when the slot or tray opens. Sometimes the notes are sorted by the machine. They then undergo an additional check before being credited to your account. If they turn out to be counterfeit, they will not be credited.

        PLEASE NOTE: as soon as you proceed to the next step, you confirm this overview and the money is transferred to the safe.

  8. Complete transaction
    • Is everything correct? Then you have three options:
      • “Add message”  Add a free or structured message
      • “Deposit more”  Add extra banknotes without starting over.
      • ‘Done’  Complete the deposit and print a receipt if required.
    • In the exceptional case that no receipt is available, your deposit will still go through.
    • The money you have deposited will be credited to your account immediately after the transaction. You can check this via your bank's mobile app.

What should I do if a CASH ATM dispenses a banknote that has been ink-stained?

CASH would first and foremost like to apologise for this inconvenience. We are doing everything we can to prevent invalid, ink-stained banknotes from entering circulation.

Have you nevertheless received one or more ink-stained banknotes from a CASH machine? If so, please take them to your bank as soon as possible and explain where and how you obtained it. Your bank will hand the banknote over to the National Bank of Belgium, which will turn it over to the police to be used as evidence in their investigation.

I can see a hold on my account, but I haven’t received any money. What should I do?

After a failed or interrupted ATM transaction, it is possible that a reservation will appear on your account.

This reservation is temporary and does not affect your available balance. It will disappear automatically. With some banks, this happens quickly; with others, it may take a bit longer.

If the reservation is still visible after a few days, or if you are unsure, If so, contact your bank.

Where can I still find an ATM belonging to my bank?

If you are a customer of Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, Fintro, ING or KBC/KBC Brussels, your bank’s ATMs are gradually being replaced by CASH points, where you can withdraw cash regardless of which bank you use.  

If you're a customer of one of the banks listed above, you can not only withdraw cash but also deposit cash at selected CASH points. You can see which locations offer this service on the website.

The CASH-point

What is a CASH point?

Every CASH point in Belgium is part of the new network of cash machines where you can withdraw cash easily and securely. Other transactions, such as depositing money, are possible if you are a customer of one of the four participating banks (Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, ING and KBC/KBC Brussels).  

The CASH-point

What is the difference between an ATM at a CASH point and my bank’s ATM?

They are actually identical machines. A bank cash machine is a machine located in or near your bank branch where you can withdraw cash and, in some cases, make deposits. CASH points form part of the network set up by Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, ING and KBC/KBC Brussels. Each CASH point contains one or more ATMs and is located in an easily accessible place. However, the machines and the way they work are the same: the only difference is the location.

CASH points were set up to keep cash accessible to everyone, regardless of which bank they use.

The CASH-point

Is a CASH point the same as Bancontact?

CASH points are often referred to as Bancontact CASH points. You’ll see the Bancontact logo displayed at CASH points.

A CASH point is a location where you can withdraw cash using debit, credit or prepaid cards.

Bancontact is the Belgian payment network that allows you to make electronic payments, both online and in-store, or to withdraw cash from an ATM.

So, while you can use a bank card with Bancontact at a CASH point, CASH and Bancontact are two different companies.

Why has my deposit been declined.

Very occasionally, a problem may occur during a deposit. Don’t worry – your money will not be lost. Below, you'll find information about the possible causes and what to do next.

A deposit may be declined for a number of reasons, including damaged banknotes, a foreign object mixed in with the notes, an incorrect action during the transaction, or a faulty machine.

If your card is returned, please take it back.

You may then be given the option to print a receipt, or the machine may print one automatically. This depends on the type of issue detected.

Neither CASH nor your bank requires this receipt, as the transaction has been recorded by the machine. However, you may wish to keep it for your own records.
